Friends have sought your keen ears, To whisper many a secret. Many have felt strengthened, By your warm and reassuring hug; Many tears have been wiped away, By your gentle but firm hands, And smiles have bloomed on faces, As a reflection of your own.

With a strength defying your modest mien, And maturity beyond your years, You have always been there for others, Inspite of your own trials. Today on your special day, I pen you a couple of lines. Ramya, you have always been special. May God bless you, today and everyday!
